Thank god. I'm tired of painting the miniatures for my Beatnik-themed tabletop RPGs. (Those little elbow patches were a bitch.)

Huh. I had no idea the Sea and Cake guy was an artist/illustrator.

Ya, I just noticed that. Interesting.
They kind of fell off my radar but I have a few albums from way back when which I really loved at the time. Have to dig those out again.

I saw the best minds of my generation turned into little plastic figurines.

This is a great idea, and someone should make this happen.

Archie McFee is out ahead of them on this. Not that they should let that stop them.

Archer Prewitt - *swoon*

And I would kill to have a Sof-Boy doll. Or a set of Coctails dolls, like they had back in the day.

Thanks for reminding me about that Bob Moog figure (apparently by the same artist), I keep meaning to buy that. It was way expensive as I recall, though.

Aw hell, they're sold out. I should have known.

I dunno, I found Ballad of the Skeletons a little self-satisfied.
